Confidence in the reading: Medium

Last written 2 May 2026

Montero Smile Art is a well-credentialed San Jose implantology clinic with AAID membership, 29 years of experience, and clear dental tourism infrastructure for North American patients. The review base is almost entirely local Spanish-speaking patients which limits confidence in tourist-specific experience, but the credentials and infrastructure are solid.

Authenticity

7/10

4.98/5 from 50 sampled reviews (354 total). Predominantly Spanish-language Costa Rican locals. No North American dental tourist reviews visible in sample. All reviews vague and positive - triggers all-5-star pattern concern (-1 authenticity).

Treatment quality

8/10

Dr. Mauricio Montero: AAID member, Costa Rican Board since 1995, 6,000+ implant cases, 40+ international training seminars. ADA/FDA-approved implants only. In-house lab for digital smile design. Multiple doctors on team.

Cleanliness

8/10

Multiple reviewers cite 'state-of-the-art' and 'very technologically advanced'. In-house dental lab. No hygiene complaints found. Digital dentistry infrastructure suggests modern environment.

Team

8/10

Dr. Mauricio Montero (lead, AAID, 29yr), Dr. Carlos Barrantes (DDS, ULACIT), Dr. Rita Solis. Three named doctors across 50 reviews. US/Canada toll-free line (+1 844-385-9783) implies English-speaking international patient capability.

Price value

9/10

Up to $40,000 savings on full-mouth implants vs North American prices claimed. Costa Rica is established 50-70% savings destination for US/Canadian patients. Free quotation system. No published price list.

Tourist suitability

8/10

US toll-free number, dedicated dental tourism packages, Paseo Colon area of San Jose. In-house lab reduces number of visits required. Strong Costa Rica dental tourism infrastructure at national level.

What comes up well

  • Dr. Montero: American Academy of Implant Dentistry member, 6,000+ implant cases
  • ADA/FDA-approved implants only - important quality assurance for tourists
  • In-house dental lab with digital smile design - fewer visits needed
  • US/Canada toll-free number (+1 844-385-9783) - dedicated tourist channel
  • 29 years in operation, Costa Rican Board registered since 1995

Points to weigh

  • All 50 sampled reviews are vague 5-star with no specific treatment details - authenticity signal unclear
